“You can withdraw the value held in your BOXED account as Ethereum (ETH).”

Items, not gems, are withdrawn, and only as Ethereum. It needs identity verification, a verified phone and approval “reviewed by hand”. No bank or card payout is described. The purchase terms say gems “cannot be withdrawn, sold, transferred, or converted to fiat currency”.
